Santorini Airport Hotels

Although Santorini is a small island and, hence, most of its regions are within a 10–20-minute driving distance from JTR Airport, you may want to check in to a hotel near Thira Airport anyway. If that is the case, check out the top 5 accommodation options near JTR Airport:

1. The Top Proximity Option: Marvarit Suites, Mesaria

If you are looking for a really close and also elegant accommodation option, you should stop searching! Marvarit Suites is the top choice for you. The 18-room hotel is located less than 1km/0.6 miles away from Santorini Airport and offers free shuttle transfers around the clock. Built in 2019, it is a relatively new addition to Santorini’s hospitality sector, designed according to the local architecture but opting for lavish, private, and modern services and amenities. Indicatively, it has an indoor swimming pool, hot tubs, a cozy lounge area, and a relaxing terrace, as well as offers free parking services.

Our Tip: The hotel is really close to the airport, yet it is certainly not a budget option.

2. The Expensive Option: North Santorini – A Luxury Spa Hotel, Pyrgos

North Santorini is located a bit further from the airport, within a 6km/3.7-mile distance from JTR, and is certainly costlier than Marvarit Suites. Still, the hotel justifies its high prices. From the elegantly furnished rooms to the fitness area and the outdoor pool, and from the amazing spa providing beauty treatments, massages, and high-quality services overall to the hotel’s food options (including a fine restaurant, a sushi bar, a pool bar, and a breakfast area), North Santorini is a luxury spa hotel worth staying near Santorini Airport.

Our Tip: Shuttle airport rides are provided as well, yet upon payment.

3. The “Family-Run” Option: DL Santorini, Monolithos

DL Santorini combines proximity to the airport, impeccable services, and an absolute sense of hospitality. The family-owned hotel aims at the personal approach without underestimating the value and the quality of the offered services. Being only a 4-minute drive from Thira Airport, it is kitted with an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and a bar while offering free parking services.

Our Tip: The 3-star hotel is somewhat affordable, costing approximately 160€/160$ per night.

4. The Mid-Range Option: Anamar Santorini, Monolithos

Ranging from 100€–140€/100$–140$, the mid-range Anamar Santorini is a 4-star accommodation guaranteeing a memorable stay for its guests. The hotel is situated only 2km/1.2 miles from Santorini Airport. Thus, you won’t need but 4 minutes to reach it by car or taxi. What’s more, you’ll have access to a pool, a beautiful garden, and a comfy terrace offering amazing views, as well as a restaurant and a snack bar.

Our Tip: Transfers upon request are also an option.

5. The Budget Option: Villa Manos Hotel, Karterados

Villa Manos, located a 6km/3.7-mile drive from the airport, is a family-owned cozy hotel with affordable prices and satisfying amenities. It has a bar-restaurant, a pool, and a terrace overlooking the sea. It also offers paid transfer services.

Our Tip: The hotel is family-friendly, providing extra services such as baby cots, babysitting services, etc.
